HIATO
INTEGRATED
AMPLIFIER
Benefiting from our tranquil location in the inspirational natural
environment of New Zealand, the Plinius design team brings
you products that faithfully reproduce the emotional touchstones
of your favourite music. The holistic integrity of nature's designs
inspire Plinius to combine wonderful sound, superb finishes and
technical excellence to delight the senses.
The power supply, preamp stage and amplifier in this integrated
unit are carefully matched to deliver an unadulterated musical
experience. The Hiato achieves levels of reproduction
unachievable by most separate component systems on the
market today. The Hiato's full function remote control also
operates the Plinius CD players. Lifting handles at the rear allow
the unit to be easily manoeuvred onto a rack, despite the sheer
mass that is a necessary outcome of this level of engineering.
The Hiato respects the environment from which its design
inspiration was taken by complying with the latest international
standards for the elimination of substances that are hazardous
to the environment. Plinius remains determined to produce
products that minimise environmental impact through giving a
lifetime of use.
The Hiato has a comprehensive rear panel layout that includes
four line level inputs and a user adjustable phono input (also
available without phono). High quality WBT RCA connectors are
used on all line level and phono inputs with additional balanced
XLR inputs for CD and Line 1. For Home Theatre system integration
the Hiato features the HT bypass input, remote IR input and 12V
input/output triggers. An unobtrusive 3.5mm jack on the front
panel allows a casual user to connect portable media without
needing to access the rear panel. The output connections of
the Hiato consist of four pairs of output connectors allowing
bi-wired speaker applications, line level output for archiving and
pre-out for bi-amping.
